IN VIOLATION OF ITS CONSTITUTIONAL ROOTS AND MANDATE, ECI ALLOWS FALSIFIED REJECTION OF RAJYA SABHA CANDIDATURE, OF CONGRESS CANDIDATE, MEENAKSHI NATARAJAN BASED UPON A CASE  THAT WAS NOT TAKEN COGNIZANCE OF BY ANY COURT AND CITING LACK OF INFORMATION THAT WAS NOT ASKED FOR IN THE NOMINATION FORM:


On 21 June 2026, at Gandhi Bhawan, Meenakshi Natarajan, addresses media on Rajya Sabha Nomination giving total clarity on how the RS seat is held by BJP in RS that can never belong to them legitimately, hence they immorally and illegally grabbed the Rajya Sabha seat.  This goes on to prove their desperateness to increase numbers in the Parliament and their surety that the NDA-RSS can never face fair elections and win through fair elections . Period.

Read below in Q&A form for easy understanding:

Q.1-    Did the BJP have required seats to file a third candidate? What is the Math of it?
     
A.     3 Rajya Sabha seats fall vacant from Madhya Pradesh.
    2 seat were clear for BJO candidates
    For 3rd seat 58 MLAs were needed for INC and Congress had 62MLAs.
    Whereas Congress had 4 seats more, BJP had 10 seats less;
    Even though the math was absolutely against BJP, still they filed 3rd candidate in spite of having only 48 MLAs for third Rajya Sabha seat;

This was an absolute proof that they had foul play intention against the electoral democratic way;

Q.2-    Was there an Immoral collusion between Election authorities and the BJP?

A.     Yes, BJP needed 10 MLAs.  Money luring , threats and other dirty tricks were not working on Congress MLAs and all very united.  Hence they conspired with the CEO.  


Q.3-    Was there equal application of law between the Congress and BJP candidates?:

A.     No There was no equal application of law.  Compare these two situations.  Meenakshi Natarajan files for the RS seat from Madhya Pradesh, while Parimal Nathwani from Jharkhand.  

On scrutiny day Congress candidate is given time only upto evening 5.30PM same day to give her explanation.  But BJP Nathwani is given time until 11AM next day morning.  And his result is declared next day 3PM.  


Q.4-    Are Returning Officers guilty of constitutional violation of equal application of law?

A.     Yes, The ROs applied 2023 Election Manual Rules to Parimal Nathwani’s RS Nomination, but they apply 2016 Election Manual Rules on Meenakshi Natarajan .  Thus they take a non-cognizanced case, and issue the rejection letter. 
 This again proves that the ECI is compromised and colluded with officials .  At the RO level the two ROs had time to accept their mistake and do the correction which they did not.


Q.5-    Is the Form 26 Rejection tenable as per law?:  

    No.  As per BNS there is provision that criminal courts issue a notice to respondents so that false and frivolous cases are curtailed.  Notice to Meenakshi Natarajan by the Hyderabadi court was in compliance to this new BNS rule, wherein the private complaint was not even taken cognisance of and hence no case was existing, for the candidate to fill in the Form 26.  


Q.6-    What did Returning Officer question Meenakshi Natarajan?:

A.     RO questioned candidate Meenakshi Natarajan, whether any notice is pending, as they have received an objection to her candidacy. She clarified that indeed she had received a pre-cognisance stage notice and as a law abiding citizen she had replied to that notice. She had submitted therein that she taken AICC Incharge to the Telangana state in 2025 and this issue is much before 2025. 

Q.7-    Do ROs have power to reject nominations?:

A.     No, they can only scrutinise if the columns are filled appropriately.  Not look into veracity of content filled.  

Q.8-    Did ECI have time to undo the erroneous ultravires rejection letter issued by the ROs?

A.     Yes, ECI had time  to set aside the wrong rejection.
Meenakshi Natarajan’s nomination was rejected on 9.6.2026 6PM.  Scrutiny time was there till next day 3PM on 10.6.2026.  Congress leaders and candidate went to ECI New Delhi 12 PM on 10.6.2026, bcuz ECI is apex body for the CEO, ROs.  

Q.9-    Did ECI meet Congress leaders? What was submission?

A.     Yes, and Adv Singhvi submitted before ECI that , ‘All that Ms. Natarajan received was a notice from a court, on a private complaint, [asking] why cognisance shouldn’t be taken.”He said there is no criminal case at all, and the Returning Officer in Madhya Pradesh erroneously claimed it to be a criminal case.
If at all the court takes cognisance, then the court will have to frame charges and at that stage, Ms. Natarajan will have to mention the case in her affidavit.

Q.10-     Did ECI have powers to cancel/recall/ the erroneous notice and to undo the huge error committed by the 2 ROs ?

A.     Yes, ECI had all the powers and responsibility to undo the injustice and violation inflicted by the ROs.  Congress party waited till 10PM on 10.6.2026 but did not receive any response from ECI on their submissions. 


Q.11-    When did Meenakshi Natarajan approach Supreme Court of India?

A.     At 1.30AM on 11.6.2026 , Congress e-filed petition at Supreme Court of India.  11th was last day of withdrawal.  Supreme Court did not hear on 11th June.  On 12th June, SC told that due to Rajya Sabha members election certificate already given , petitioner should file election petition at High Court of Madhya Pradesh.

Q.12-    Did CEO-ECI go by law by taking cognizance of a criminal case that did not exist and pre-cognisance notice?: 

A.     Absolutely the ECI didn’t go by law.  Rather CEO attributed a false charge against the Congress candidate.  Returning Officer ECI, tells that ‘you have hidden the fact of a cognisance case’.
Whereas Hyderabad criminal court says 'This court does not have jurisdiction to take cognisance of this matter. ‘


Q.13-    What is the status of the Hyderabadi Court Private Complaint case ?:

A.     On 12th June 2026, Hyderabad Magisterial Criminal Court declared that they don’t even have jurisdiction to handle the case for which they had issued a notice to one of the respondents Meenakshi Natarajan.  No cognisance is taken of the case itself ,  And the private complaint filed by the petitioner was returned back to the petitioner on 12.06.2026.

Q.14-   Did the ROs actually attribute a false charge against Meenakshi Natarajan?

A.     Yes, ROs attribute a false charge in their rejection that the candidate has ‘hidden facts of case that has been taken cognisance of’.
ROs could not meet the congress delegation’s eye bcuz they knew they were doing a grave mistake.


Q.15-    Did ECI/CEO allow Unauthorised presence in the ROs room?:

A.     There was threatening presence of MP senior BJP leader inside the RO room.  Whereas the PCC president, CM, were not allowed inside but BJP party leader was present.  Even the Collector and Commissioner were present in the scrutiny room that was again unauthorised.  All these were indicators that BJP was upto foul play and conspiracy and that ROs were compromised.  


Q.16-   What is party’s stand on Aggrieved woman in the private complaint? 

A.     Party stands with the aggrieved woman for her justice.

       Are the allegations by the woman true that party did not take action?

A.     Not true. Allegations made by woman that party did not take action is wrong.  
In 2023 assembly elections, even though survey showed that the alleged person was No.1 candidate, congress party did not give ticket bcuz the charges levelled against him were of serious nature.  He was also removed from the party post.  He was also suspended from party on moral grounds.  In spite of charges not proven till date. Party is not defending him.


Q.17-    Legacy Lies of BJP?:

A.     Yes, BJP is such a party that spread lies in 1990s that Ganesh idols are drinking milk.  They spread fake news on president Shankar Dayal Sharma that he died when he was alive.  This message was spread far and wide at a time when there was no social media.  


Q.18-    Conspiracy and foul play of BJP evident in Supreme Court too:

A.     The Congress case filed in Supreme Court was against ECI that was represented by Tushar Mehta.  The 3 BJP candidates were represented by Naidu.  We had not filed against Government of Madhya Pradesh but Mukul Rohatgi was hired to defend government of MP and he was present there.  Once again the collusion and conspiracy between government of MP and ECI was established.


Q.19-    Will Meenakshi Natarajan accept Telangana RS seat?

    Meenakshi Natarajan has clarified that she would never accept Telangana RS seat by making someone resign.  She would want to represent Madhya Pradesh and she has already been MP in LokSabha. 


Q.20-    Why Press should talk about conspiracy of the BJP and the ECI, instead of non-proven stories floated around by BJP?:

A.     As 4th pillar of democracy, press has responsibility towards truth and towards country, that Instead of questioning on stories of who given information to BJP about Hyderabad court case, they should rather focus on what is evident that is breaking of rules by the ECI and BJP government.  And the press should talk and question about this glaring conspiracy and collusion by the BJP and the ECI that is so evident. 

Q.21-    Congress could not get RS seat due to erroneous ultravires decisions of ECI , not due to information of notice?

A.     Yes, Decision to reject the nomination filed by Meenakshi Natarajan was given by the ECI not by the Congress party.  Hence congress candidate could not be returned to the Rajya Sabha due to falsified comprised decisions of the ECI ROs.

It is clear before the people who is telling truth and who is lying.

Q.22-    Is the party filing election petition challenging rejection of Meenakshi Natarajan?

A.      Yes, Congress party is thankful to the Supreme Court for the hearing and the judgement.  Party has decided to file election petition challenging the cancellation order issued by RO within 45 days stipulated time.


Q.23-    What is the further clarity that the country faces?:

A.     Congress and the country got more and more clarity that we are all fighting the fascist BJP government alone but collusion of ED, CBI, RBI, ECI forces.  Its an all out fight.


Q.24-    Rahul Gandhi’s consistent exposure to the people of the country:

A.     What Leader of Opposition, Shri RahulGandhi was telling since 2 years became more evident .  Constitutional institutions have been made subservient by the BJP.  What has been established as checks and balances by our forefathers to preserve our democracy and our electoral democracy, are now forming a ghatbandhan collusion and are all compromised with the present government. 

Q.25-    The final points:

A.      Congress can see in the eye and tell that ECI is compromised.  They the BJP and allies want to convert country to one nation one party and make a mockery of very democracy that they utilised to come to power and the democracy that gave them the responsibility to preserve it. This is treachory.
